The sonatas for piano and violin by Joseph Haydn have, up to now, barely been featured in concert programs, a fate they share with the sonatas of Johann Christian Bach and the early sonatas of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. These works of beautiful violin and piano sonatas will leave the listener wanting more.

American Record Guide, September / October 2012Dartsch and Tschurl deliver convincingly clear and witty readings of these works. They are particularly adept at revealing the variety of Haydn's inventiveness through careful Attention to tone and dynamic contrasts. The recording overall is of excellent sound quality except for a perceptible drop in volume between the first two sonatas. The notes are well researched and of interest if you are curious about the vagaries of cataloguing Haydn's work.
